re: #181 William Lewis

Kaiser Wilhelm II’s “Hun Speech” is a lovely (not) example of the egotism that drove German colonial thinking at the time and all of it’s folly. I sometimes wonder what might have been had he not been crippled by the circumstances of his birth.

We forget in general that Europe was run by an inbred, inept group of dynasties that was unable to recognize that its time had long since passed.
